802.1X: 802.1X allows you to securely authenticate devices connecting to a network - while often employed in wireless networks it is also often used along side wired ones as well. A typical transaction will involve the authenticator (the switch in this case) sending a EAP message to the supplicant (the client workstation in this case) and will then send back an EAP response.

For this lab we will be focusing on wired networks and will be attempting to address the problem of visiting employees from company A from plugging in their equipment into Company B's infrastructure.
